SQUIDS Odyssey Hits Wii U eShop

Including both campaigns from SQUIDS, and SQUIDS Wild West, Odyssey offers gamers a lengthy, epic story that spans four underwater kingdoms, as well as a new chapter that expands upon the story and SQUIDS universe; Even those that have already experienced the journey on mobile devices have more reasons than playing it on the big screen to make a return.

Indie developer The Game Bakers‘ recent baked-good has found its home on the Wii U’s eShop. The underwater, tactical RPG series, SQUIDS, makes its Nintendo debut with SQUIDS Odyssey, available now for $14.99.

Gameplay is what the child of Disgaea and Angry Birds would probably feel like: Battles are tactical turn-based, cartoony, and squids attack by having their bodies stretched out, and then slung towards their enemies. It is even possible to use the environment to your advantage, as well as boost the stats of your squid fighters with some fresh looking helmets. With 90+ missions and 15-hours of gameplay in the main storyline, Wii U owners have a content-filled RPG waiting for them. Oh, and there is also a Pro Mode that makes the game not only harder, but longer as well.

Those that have played the previous entries know that SQUIDS is a rather addictive experience, and it can now be enjoyed on a home console, on the big screen – or the Wii U GamePad, if one so desires. Odyssey is also set to make its debut on the 3DS in the near future.
